Potentially furthering a correlation between the human brain and near-death experiences, another recent study found that NDEs were uncommon in head-injury cases compared to other near-death conditions.
Curious as to why this was, researchers found in a recent smaller study that NDE memories have more phenomenological characteristics than memories of imagined and real events.
A near-death experience, or NDE, is a significant psychological event that can occur when a person is close to death or in other situations of physical or emotional crisis.
They suggest that NDE memories may not simply be imagined event memories, but rather that their physiological origins could lead them to be truly perceived, even if they are not lived in reality.
